Since the Mets have numerous need to fill, it may make more sense allowing younger players like Brett Baty and Mark Vientos to play to see if they can be the answer going forward instead of bring in veterans that may be near the end of their career.

Texas Rangers signed Kenny Rogers of the New York Mets as a free agent on December 29, 1999.
2009 | The Mets and Jason Bay, a former farmhand, agree to a four-year deal worth approximately $66 million that includes a vesting option for a fifth year for an additional $14 million. The 31 year-old outfielder joined the organization as a minor leaguer in 2002 when Omar Minaya, then the general manager of the Expos, traded the Class A pull hitter to New York, who shipped him four months later to San Diego as part of an undistinguished deal. |
